Ainu
Ainu people
(also called Ezo in historical texts) are an ethnic group
indigenous to
Hokkaidō, northern
Honshū, the
Kuril Islands, much of
Sakhalin, and the southernmost third of the
Kamchatka peninsula. Their most widely known
ethnonym is derived from the word aynu, which means "human" (particularly as opposed to kamuy, i.e., divine beings) in the
Hokkaidō dialects of the
Ainu language;
Emishi,
Ezo or
Yezo (蝦夷) are
Japanese terms, which are believed to derive from the ancestral form of the modern Sakhalin Ainu word enciw or enju, also meaning "human". The term (meaning "comrade" in Ainu) is now preferred by some members of this minority. There are most likely over 150,000 Ainu today, however the exact figure is not known as many Ainu hide their origin or, in many cases, are not even aware of it, as their parents have kept it from them so as to protect their children from
racism.

Ainu
Als Ainu (Aino) werden die Ureinwohner Nord-
Japans bezeichnet. Die populäre Bezeichnung der Ainu als die Ureinwohner Japans ist nicht korrekt, tatsächlich gab es mehrere japanische Urvölker. Ursprünglich waren sie
Jäger und Sammler, die ältesten archäologischen Funde werden auf etwa 18.000 v. Chr. (also noch ins
Pleistozän) datiert, wobei hier wiederum umstritten ist, in wieweit diese Funde der
Jomon-Kultur mit den Ainu in Verbindung stehen.
